Final from Poughkeepsie: Marist upsets one of the MAAC's top two, 86-68, behind 23 points from David Devezin. MORE TO COME.
The upset is on as Marist leads, 79-58, with 5:03 left in the game. David Devezin completely took over this game and dominated from start to finish. When healthy, he's an all-conference point guard.
The refs are starting to take over this game, and surprisingly, Joe DeMayo is not involved (although he is an official for his first Marist game of the year). Slightly midway into the second half, there have been 19 fouls called. UConn transfer Rob Garrison just drained a three-pointer with 8:36 left in the game to cut Marist's lead to 19. Marist has the ball and is up, 69-50. Marist's largest lead has been 23.
David Devezin has taken over the game and Marist looks to be a very dangerous team when he's healthy. Marist is blowing out Niagara, 65-42, with 10:04 left in the game.
With 11:45 remaining in the game, Marist is fending off Niagara, 60-42. Niagara has made several runs but David Devezin is sparking the Marist offense.

At the half, Marist leads Niagara, 42-23, at the half. Very impressive first half for the Red Foxes with the largest first half point total this season. I'm expecting Niagara to come out firing in the second half, as they tend to be extremely streaky. They scored 58 in the first half against Manhattan.
** Tyrone Lewis just made another appearance past past Rick Remsnyder on press row.
Joe Mihalich immediately called a timeout after Kaylen Gregory drained an NBA range three-pointer, his second long ball in two possessions. Marist is stunning Niagara, 38-19.
Benson Egemonye's size is starting to become a problem underneath. Although Egemonye has little touch on his shots, he's generated a number of fouls on the Marist big men. Egemonye has attempted 10 free throws thus far.
Lawrence Williams has come back re-energized after his one game hiatus for violation of a team rule. Williams has four points since entering the game and is doing a good job on Niagara's big man, Benson Egemonye. Marist is shocking the No. 2 Niagara Purple Eagles, 29-12, with 7:29 left in the first half. Schneider is bouncing back from a light game on the boards. After grabbing four rebounds last game, Schneider has six rebounds already.
**Kaylen Gregory just made an appearance on press row, jumping right past me trying to save a loose ball.
With 11:38 left in the first half. Marist has surprised with an early offensive explosion. The Red Foxes lead, 20-11, after senior Ryan Schneider went on a 5-0 run. Niagara has looked extremely sloppy on the offensive end.
Marist jumped out to an early 8-1 lead behind two three-pointers from Dejuan Goodwin and Korey Bauer. Niagara responded with a quick 4-0 run. At the first official timeout, Marist leads Niagara, 11-5. Marist has hit three three-pointers thus far.
